    Click "Powers" on your power tray. Click "Combat Attributes" at the top of the window that pops up. Another window will pop up with various combat attributes. Last Hit Chance is under "Base". Right click on that, select "Monitor Last Hit Chance". You'll get a smaller window that you can keep open that will display your last hit chance. You can add as many as 10 different attributes to this smaller window to keep track of health, regeneration, stamina, movement speed, defense, etc.

    This doesn't require an add-on. Part of the base UI for quite some time now.

    Didn't know you were on all IOs. Most people are by that level, but not everyone. You didn't say.

    Still, practically every patch has at least one person swearing up and down that their accuracy was killed by the patch and a hundred others saying theirs is fine. Perceptional bias and an unlucky streak could be all there is to it.

    Regen is functioning as it always has. Accuracy hasn't been changed. Enhancements expired, perhaps?

    Flight speed

    That would pretty much leave us where we are now with Flight. The complaint is flight is slower than the other travel powers, and that would remain the same.

    and I hate to open the second game I have in my house w.e I guess :/
    If you're opening a new account, you have to. A trial key doesn't grant you a full account. This is how any pay to play MMO works. For a full account, you have to buy an account key. Which generally means buying the box from a store or digital purchase off a website like any other game.

    But, yes, as others said, if you're reactivating an existing account and lost the login info, call support.

    19 live? when?

    Which page is it exactly that you're calling the "main page"? Forum index? No, not there. CoH website? Not there either... Nowhere in the news announcement for the patcher window, either. Soooooooooo? It's not exactly thrown in your face anywhere in the natural steps most people would take to get to the forums or into the game.

    Yeah, dev digest, but that's another thing...Not many non-regular forum posters know it's there or what it does.

    But to suggest that anyone who read/knew about WW's announcement is a raving Dev/I19 fan is a bit of hyperbole.
    Only real hyperbole here is your claim that anyone has even hinted at that...

    Well, not everyone obsessively follows every dev post, so it's not unreasonable that they hadn't come across it. On the other had, they could have checked the dev and community digests before asking, which would seem the obvious thing to do.

    Fun?

    I get bored.

    Is there anything fun to do? Any grouping? I am not sure if I have grouped with anyone, ever. Well maybe once or twice.

    When I first started playing, there were no real items or inventions etc.

    I run around the streets and encounter the regular thugs, I will do some missions but everything becomes very routine. Is there anything fun to do .. at all?

    I love the character creation, who doesn't?
    I would love to find something to do.

    Help me out.
    "Fun" is very subjective. If you don't find the game fun, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with the game, it just may not be for you. Try teaming, though. I prefer to solo, but others find teaming much more fun. Run taskforces and such.

    Another thing I note is that you sound like you street sweep more than running actual missions. That does get very tiresome. Stick to the missions and actually read the stories behind them.

    12 is really only just the beginning of things. You've only just graduated out of training enhancements and barely have any of your powers.

    Not likely. Raising the level cap doesn't solve any problems, just puts them off for a very short time. And creates new balance problems...

    Actually, what was said was "16th *ISH*". It's still possible that it'll drop before the end of the week, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It absolutely won't drop before Thanksgiving if it doesn't drop by the end of this week, though. They're not going to release an issue Thanksgiving week.

    Since when was Tough a PPP?

    Flight speed

    Flying is soooo slow. is there anyway to improve the speed?
    thanks in advance
    You're at the cap. Flight speed caps lower than other travel powers because it's also the safest and easiest travel power to use. Unlike running, you can make a straight line to your goal in most zones. Unlike Superjump, you almost never hit the ground and never run into any obstacles too tall to go over. And, unlike Teleport, it's "fire and forget" ( No need to "click click click click" to get to your goal ) not to mention far less end intensive. Some disagree with me on this, but if the flight cap were higher, there'd be no reason outside of concept builds to take any travel power other than fly.
  14. In short, everything directly connected with GR ( which includes the Incarnate stuff ) requires GR.

    Actually, the pirate fits just fine. Pretty much anything does, because pretty much anything shows up at some point or other in even the major modern superhero comics. There've been pirates, knights, and pretty much everything else.

    As for people not RPing much, you'll find more on Virtue than anywhere else, but that doesn't mean everyone or even the majority RPs there. It's pretty much like any other MMO in that regard, even the ones with officially designated RP servers...

    The "always on" effects on the IO itself ( not as part of a set bonus ) are only triggered when the power is active. In an always on passive power, they actually pulse every x number of seconds, but have a limited duration, indefinitely. In a toggle, they act the same, but only as long as the power is turned on. In a click, they pulse when you click, but expire after a set duration until you click again. This is nothing new, and sure as hell not unique to the IO in question. Check the wiki, this behavior has been explained there for ages.

    Edit: Minor correction, some special IOs are always on, period. Some are "procs", which trigger as I explained above. The one in question falls into the latter category. They won't necessarily say outright that they're a proc, which is kinda why you need to check up on these things rather than making assumptions.

    Here, Proc IOs explained: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Invent...ncements#Procs

    Every effect IO bonus only works for a limited time after the activation of a click power. If you want full time protection, slot it into a toggle. You not understanding how IOs work isn't a "bait and switch".
  18. 26 posts in and I'm still trying to figure out where the "bait and switch" comes in. Other than it being a hotbutton phrase to attract attention.

    It's a problem that has been around since EQ, possibly before. If there were a way to get rid of them completely, it would have been done by now. Unfortunately, there are no ways to totally lock them out without inconveniencing a lot of innocent people in the process. "Throwing out the baby with the bathwater", so to speak.

    Of course, if you're downed by one during an invasion, the debt protection still applies. The protection is attached to the event being active in the zone and not the mobs themselves. Sure you knew that, but just saying for the benefit of others who may not...
